Default What is this?

I'm taking apart my engine and found this. Do you know what it is?

Something you cannot find in a ROW engine.

It's the remains of your SAI check valve. Nearby you will find a hose with the rotted connection inside.

Wow, that didn't take long. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go add myself to the list of those requesting the SAI bypass circuit.

You mean that black intake manifold on the left edge of the pic?

The one without an elastic holding a small plastic bag over the opening.

You ain't working on my car.

I'm saving that for when I find out how much all the head work is going to cost. Or maybe when I try my hand at cam timing.
